Artist Statement
Through the color, music, composition, storytelling, and characters I want to create a place that sparks and captures imagination. I take from my own experiences, and I cherish small moments of ecstasy and happiness, so I may use these fleeting instants as inspiration. Because of this, my work consists of the cute, charming, whimsical, and fantastical. I don’t believe in working in black and white, not because I think it inappropriate, but because too many times the world itself can begin to look gray. Bright or pastel colors can serve as a gateway into the fanciful and become a form of escapism.
